    This powerful tool can control anything that accepts MIDI CC -- soft synths, plugins and hardware that you wished had modulation, and even that vintage lava lamp you’ve been using as a makeshift MIDI controller.  And with its numerous knobs, sliders, and xy pads, you’ll feel like a futuristic space DJ in no time.

    But that’s not all!  With MMM’s innovative modulation system, you can add modulation to your synths or effects and create sounds that will make Mozart roll over in his grave. Customize your LFOs, shape your waveforms, and even modulate based on the amplitude or pitch of a source signal.  With MMM, the modulation possibilities are endless!

    AnyAmpIR (GAS Therapy)

    AnyAmpIR can be any guitar/bass amp you want, and it's suuuuuuper efficient.

    Just batch load all of your IR collection, SAVE AS PRESET IN DAW, then start playing and have fun.

    It's also super light weight on CPU & ram & storage usage, basically a production monster for any guitar/bass based producer.

    That's surprising! I see Native Access 2 only using 375MB here.

    I frequently see my C drive disk usage increase by several GBs after a new install (in excess of the expected actual files installed). I have discovered that Windows usually makes a system restore point when you run an installer, if you have System Restore protection enabled on your system drive. That can easily eat up at least several GBs. 🙄

    You can see how much drive space System Restore is currently occupying by opening System Protection from Windows Settings. Alternatively you can confirm this by using a disk space analyzer like the excellent TreeSize Free run as Administrator, and looking at the System Volume Information folder. They are the large files in braces with long names in hex. One of the many mysteries of Windows!

    You can delete the restore points if you don't need them by clicking on "Configure" in System Protection, which shows the space used, and then clicking on "Delete". I just scanned with TreeSize and they were using 3GB here, so I deleted all. Then created a manual restore point that only used 1.1 GB. They do begin to add up, even though you can set a max usage of 1% of the drive, but in my case that equals 4.64GB (on a 500GB M.2 SSD).

    Bottom line is that I suspect Native Access is not using 3GB of drive space by itself.

    Excellent advice...thanks!

    Like you I regularly check System Restore and delete restore points when I know I won't need to roll back to an earlier state.  I also use a disk space analyzer (SpaceSniffer) to see the breakdown of my system drive.  I wasn't aware of TreeSize Free, so thanks for mentioning it.

    Nowadays we have to be quite vigilant in managing our system drives since updates have become so bloated.

    That there seems to be a mystery to all. As far as I can gather, it is "officially" Native Access 2, v3.3.0. It seems that the devs went a bit crazy with the versioning... 🤣

    Not sure why you are seeing higher CPU usage, but I may have an idea for the disk space.

    Check your "Preferences > File Management > Content Location" if you usually install your content on another drive like I do. I had to switch mine back to my D drive after the upgrade.

    Thanks for the tip.  I also install all content (samples) to SSDs in a 5-bay array to preserve space on my system drive.  Surprisingly the switch from NA1 to NA2 retained all my preferences; except, of course, the (now two!) data sharing settings which default to "exploit user."  Equally surprising is that the 3GB loss of drive space was due solely to the installation of NA2 (I checked before updating any VIs/FXs).

    I just installed NA2 and it definitely runs better than before!

    Actually, it seems I now have version 3.3.

    Although it is an overall improvement from NA1, there are two annoying issues: 1) the CPU uasage is now 20% (it used to be ~3-5%); and 2) I just lost ~3GB of disk space.  I hope the former is due to some initial indexing of all my products and the latter is the result of temporary installation files (though CCleaner did not recover much of the lost space).  Hmm.

    I believe NA1 has fallen behind. It failed to show me the the recent Massive X update.

    Thanks for confirming.

    All was good after I upgraded to NA2. So it looks like time to make the move forward has arrived...

    I actually had NA2 but uninstalled it because there were lots of problems.  I'll try again.  Cheers...

    Just curious, was this update made available to anyone still using the old version of Native Acces (version 1)?  I'm still using that one and don't see the version 6.50 Reaktor update.  The latest one for me is 6.4.3 and I'm wondering if v6.50 is only available via the newer versions of Native Access.

    New Synthesizer V Voicebanks

    Posted · Edited by locrian

    I'm starting this new thread where we can post all the new Synthesizer V voicebanks since it's likely we'll be seeing quite a few releases as the platform grows in popularity.

    I'll start with Saros from Eclipsed Sounds.  It's just a teaser, but they're the ones that produced Solaria, so I'm guessing this one will be good too.
